Folk

S. J.’s new CD for 2015 is a sultry sip of Folk and Jazz, topped off with a taste of Fairytales and Southern Folklore.  Dive on in.  Lose your heart without losing your head.  Chase ghosts in the Delta.  Steal into the heart of Winter, carrying Summer’s last light! Shake your tail!  Spread your wings!  Tear the temple down!

This physical pressing of the album includes a CD nestled inside a nifty Digipak case, and features a 6-page booklet with art by Chaz Kemp and Elizabeth Jordan Leggett, plus photos by Kirk Lanier and Sandra Buskirk.  The whole package was deftly designed by Kevin K’ Wiley, whose graphic design chops have long been enjoyed by Sooj’s fans.

Release date: March 23, 2015!

“A fanciful collection of upbeat songs inspired by Catherynne M. Valente’s novel, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making! Guitar, cello, drums, flutes, fiddle and soaring female vocals guide this wild adventure.”

Is it the Wonders that you’re after?
S. J.’s 2013 release is inspired, from start to finish, by Catherynne M. Valente’s Fairyland novel, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making! Get ready for a wild ride on the back of a big red Wyverary, or a Wild Velocipede, or a Glashtyn-powered ferry, across such majestic vistas as the Worsted Wood, the Barleybroom River, and the Perverse and Perilous Sea! It is our fondest hope that you will return from these adventures better than when you left.

This physical pressing of the album includes a CD nestled inside a nifty Digipak case, a 4-page booklet, and lots of art by Chaz Kemp, Matt Hawk, and Elizabeth Jordan Leggett.  The whole package was deftly designed by Kevin K’ Wiley, whose graphic design chops have long been enjoyed by Sooj’s fans.
